Cloud Eggs with Pecorino and Parsley

 Colavita Olive Oil
 6 large eggs, separated
 ½ cup grated pecorino cheese
 kosher salt
 freshly ground black pepper
 fresh parsley, chopped very fine
 1 baguette or loaf of Italian bread, sliced or 6 English muffins, halved
1

Preheat oven to 425° and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

Slice the baguette or bread of your choice and place the slices on a baking sheet. Drizzle the slices with a little Colavita EVOO.

3

Toast for 3 minutes on one side, flip and toast another 2-3 minutes on the other.

4

Remove from the oven and place on a serving platter.

5

Separate egg whites and egg yolks, placing the egg whites in a large bowl and each of the yolks in a separate small bowl. Be careful not to break the yolks, but if you do, it’s ok.

6

Season the egg whites with salt and pepper. Using a whisk or a hand mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.

7

Gently fold in Pecorino cheese. Create 6 mounds of egg whites on the prepared baking sheet and indent the centers of each to look like nests. Bake until slightly golden, about 4 minutes.

8

Remove from the oven and very carefully, add an egg yolk to the center of each egg white cloud.

9

Season yolk with salt and pepper. Bake until the yolks are just set, about 4 minutes more.

10

Place each egg cloud on a slice of toast

11

Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top and drizzle with Colavita Olive Oil.

12

Serve immediately.
